Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SteelSeries Limited-Edition Zboard Keyset Wrath of the Lich King
Customer Review: Order from anyone but Amazon for this one.
Summary: 5 Stars
Had ordered this for Christmas on the 13th of December, all of my gifts said they would get to the house in time for the holidays. This keyboard ended up being back ordered through Amazon, and it still hadn't been shipped by January 15th. I canceled the order and ordered with another vendor, got it in two days.
The keyboard itself is great, I bought it for my wife for World of Warcraft. The macro buttons work very well, and the switchable plates for the keyboard make it really handy to switch from application to application. I personally prefer a normal keyboard for whatever I do because I play so many different games, but for someone who just plays one or two, then this keyboard may be the way to go. Easy to install, and the software that comes with it will auto-update to the newest version whenever a new plate is put on.
Customer Review: Good product, but misleading Amazon description.
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me first say that I agree with Carlee, having reviewed the description for this item if you were not already aware of how the ZBoard works, this is misleading. This product is merely a "keyset" for the ZBoard. The ZBoard base has all the wires and connectors to your computer, and your keysets can be lifted out and changed on a game-by-game basis (or the regular keyset layout included with the base.) They make quite a few variations of the keysets for different games.
That being said, and having been a ZBoard user for some time, I greatly enjoy the layout and functionality of this keyset. I have often found myself at a loss when returning to regular keyboards at friends houses since I am so used to the (vastly improved) layout offered on my ZBoard.
Customer Review: It is an alright board
Summary: 3 Stars
Before I start: BUY THE ZBOARD BEFORE YOU BUY THIS! IF YOU DONT I WILL LAUGH AT YOUR TEARS!
So the major problem with all zboards is the fact that certain keys do not work for certain people. This is because only one side of the key has an actual button underneath.
This will make it very hard for those people who dont switch out keysets, or even those that do to write anything out side of the game.
Now in my gaming experienece this board has its uses, mainly for chat functions and emotes. After that you are better off using the fps style board the zboard ships with as the controls are bigger, the 1-6 buttons are huge, and just provides a better grasp for large hands.
Customer Review: Misleading description of product that took forever to be delivered
Summary: 1 Stars
This product requires a Zboard for use. The product on Amazon.com states this nowhere. While it does show that buyers frequently buy a Zboard, if you are unfamiliar with Zboards you most likely would not realize this. I ordered this product at the beginning of December as a Christmas present, and it didn't arrive until two weeks after its original estimated delivery date, which was long after Christmas. I was ok with the delay until I opened the package to find it wasn't what I thought it was. I have no idea how good the product is, because I can't use it. Maybe I should have just bought it directly from WOW. This was a disapointing performance on Amazon's part.Customer Review: Awesome Keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
First thing you need to do is to look for the latest drivers. They can be found here [...] . Download the latest drivers for your system and you will be good to go. If you like World of Warcraft you will love this keyboard. I am very happy with this keyboard. Im not sure what is wrong with the other reviews. I guess having to find the latest drivers can really tax some people. If your smarter than a 5th grader then you will be good to go. This keyboard makes playing the game more enjoyable. I also think the graphics and lettering on the keyboard are awesome, not sure what some people were expeting for graphics on a keyboard. Any ways this keyboard is a good deal.
